IT Cosmetics The Romantics Naturally Pretty Vol. 2 Eyeshadow Palette ($43.50 for 0.46 oz.) includes fourteen matte eyeshadows, plus a shimmery eyeshadow designed to layer with the matte eyeshadows to give you the ability of matte to pearl finishes on the fly. Full review to come, but here’s a quick preview of what’s to come! I have the original palette, too, but I need to re-swatch it before I can post (I didn’t realize it was a wet/dry formula when I initially photographed and swatched it a year ago).

See more photos & swatches!

Why oh why did I let myself look? I was totally prepared to resist this palette, since I have the first two. Then I saw your swatches, and I’m done for!

I pretty much love everything I have from IT but I have 2 trios (both came in “Showstoppers”) and, based on those, I wouldn’t be in a rush to purchase an eyeshadow palette from IT. I do love the idea of that transforming shade though. I believe that’s been in all the palettes and it seems a great idea.

M Avatar

Oh no. The outside packaging on this looks the same as the first, which I own. Love the palette, but HATE that packaging, and I know most have said the same. Why, oh why, would they use it again?

In any case, I think I’ll grab this one if it gets a good review. I’ll either keep it for myself and give my mom the first one or vice versa.

Some pretty colors here, but this looks more like a spring palette than summer/fall. I think if you’re very fair and want a soft, romantic, natural look, this would be a nice palette. But I think there’s too many light beige/peach shadows that aren’t going to show up well or all look the same on me. The dry/wet swatches look the same, and I don’t like how the transforming pearl changes the color

What a pretty assortment of shades! To me, it invokes the looks of spring, more than fall. Of course I’m drawn to the pretty purples & pinks plus the neutrals and cooler tones. The pigmentation looks really good on all but maybe one of them. From the photos I can’t tell much of a difference between the dry and damp swatches. I love the pearl overcoat shade, It’s pretty by itself, and adds lots of options to the palette. I have a few It Cosmetics palettes and trios, and they always perform well.

If I didn’t just (finally!) get the most stunning Laura Mercier Eye Art Artist Palette, I would snap it up in an instant. Most likely I will succumb at a later date 😉

I’m swooning over the LM Palette. It’s kicked my HG Too Faced Naked Eye Palette to 2nd place! I’m sooooo happy Sephora brought it back, and I hope they keep it around, I may need a backup ;-).

Thanks for the sneak peek Christine. 🙂

As I am looking at this palettes swatches, Prince’s Purple Rain is playing on the radio! I’m serious! No joke! Sure appears to have some VERY promising purples, and peachy shades too. Pink isn’t my jam, however. Although I can certainly envision this all coming together in a super-romantic, yet sultry look!

charlotte Avatar

Anyone know when it’s going to hit Ulta.. or the It Cosmetics website? I have the other two and love them so I’ve been stalking since I saw the first photos online.

Elizabeth K. Avatar

I need this like I need another hole in my head but I love her first two palettes so much, I couldn’t jump on qvc and order this fast enough once I saw these swatches!

Kimberly Avatar

I had the first one but returned it. The colors blended into each other too much and always looked kinda muddy. If I knew that wouldn’t happen with this I’d pick it up, so looking forward to your review.

Valerie C. Avatar

I love this! Last year I bought their Naturally Pretty Holiday Matte Palette and I’m still using it. This is a must buy 🙂

Sarah S. Avatar

Wow, it looks really nice. Lots of colors I don’t have! (I’m more of a bold/bright eye kind of girl, neutrals scare me a little bit, lol!)

Candice Avatar

The colours are very pretty and romantic. Weddingy, flowery maybe. I agree with others that it’s way more spring than fall. The idea of the shimmery shade as a topper for the others, to give the palette more versatility is great, but I don’t find any of the shimmer versions of the shades impressive. It’s a good little touch of shimmer if you don’t want it all-matte, but not at all an awesome stand-alone colour or real replacement for having shimmer shadows from the looks of it.

Harris Avatar

I’ll wait for the review to pick this up. I loved the original, but was very disappointed in the Celebration iteration, so hopefully this is more like the first than the second!
